Difficulty: EasyPopulation Concepts and Growth Dynamics

In a community with a total population of 50,00050,000, a local demographic survey recorded 1,2501,250 live births in one year. What is the Crude Birth Rate (CBR) per 1,0001,000 population for this community?

Answer: 25 per 1,000

Answer

The Crude Birth Rate is 25 per 1,000 population.
The Crude Birth Rate is calculated by dividing total live births (1,2501,250) by total population (50,00050,000) and multiplying by 1,0001,000, resulting in 2525 per 1,0001,000 population.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the formula for calculating Crude Birth Rate (CBR).
CBR=Total Live BirthsTotal Population×1,000\text{CBR} = \frac{\text{Total Live Births}}{\text{Total Population}} \times 1,000.
Crude Birth Rate is defined as the number of live births per 1,000 people in a given population in a year.
2
Substitute the given values into the equation and solve.
CBR=1,25050,000×1,000=25\text{CBR} = \frac{1,250}{50,000} \times 1,000 = 25.
Dividing 1,2501,250 by 50,00050,000 gives 0.0250.025, and multiplying by 1,0001,000 yields 2525.
